The free Slack birthday bot — birthdays and work anniversaries, on autopilot

Yes. Asante's core birthday bot is free forever, on every plan — automatic birthday and work anniversary shoutouts with built-in message templates, posted at the default time (10:00 AM workspace time). No credit card needed. Premium extras — custom messages & GIFs, choosing your own send time and timezone, and HRIS sync — are part of the paid plan, and you get all of them during the 30-day free trial.

Click 'Add to Slack' above, approve the permissions in the Slack OAuth prompt, and you're in. Most teams are live in under two minutes — no IT ticket, no admin console.

Yes. The same bot tracks birthdays, work anniversaries, and any custom milestone you create. Asante posts each one to the Slack channel you choose — at 10:00 AM by default, or at the exact time you pick on the paid plan.

Yes — that is exactly what Asante does. The bot auto-posts the anniversary shoutout, and the post includes Emoji points teammates can react with. Points convert to gift cards in the Rewards marketplace, so a single message becomes both the celebration and the gift.

Yes. Upload a CSV for free and Asante imports the full team at once. On the paid plan you can also connect your HRIS (BambooHR, Deel, and more) to keep birthdays and hire dates synced automatically. Individual dates can still be added or edited later from the in-Slack user settings modal.

No. Asante posts one celebration message per person per event, in the channel you specify and on a predictable schedule. You can route different milestones to different channels, group everyone into a single daily post, or skip weekends.

Asante is the only free Slack birthday bot that combines automatic birthday reminders, work anniversary tracking, custom milestones, and team kudos in one app. Most birthday bots stop at the reminder; Asante also gives teammates a built-in way to celebrate back with points and gift cards.

Yes — on the paid plan (and during the 30-day free trial). Write your own messages, add GIFs, and tailor the wording per event type, so birthdays stay playful and anniversaries professional. On the free plan, Asante uses its built-in template library.

Look for a Slack-verified app (Asante is listed in the Slack App Directory), a free forever plan you can evaluate without a credit card, public customer reviews on G2 or Product Hunt, and built-in controls for what's posted, when, and where. Asante meets all four — and adds team kudos on top.
